Cibus Tec Industry - Demo Factory

As early as 2011, Cibus Tec established itself as the first food technology trade show to enrich its content with a truly unique and innovative initiative. What better way to give visitors the opportunity to see the machinery and technology on display in full operation? And what better showcase for exhibitors to demonstrate their latest solutions for the food & beverage sector?

This idea laid the foundation for the Cibus Tec Industry - Demo Factory project. Thanks to the collaboration of an ever-growing number of technology partners, this initiative has enabled us to recreate several highly automated, fully functioning production lines that demonstrate key processing and packaging stages for food products.

By exploring the Cibus Tec Industry - Demo Factory area in Hall 4, visitors to Cibus Tec 2026 will have the opportunity to see the latest cutting-edge technologies live in action.

During Cibus Tec 2026, two new highly automated demo lines featuring fascinating technologies will be presented. This is an unmissable opportunity for visitors to experience the future in action and get an exclusive preview of the latest innovations.

We invite you to discover our special area and be inspired by tomorrow's possibilities—already a reality at Cibus Tec 2026!

SEAFOOD LINE (Hall 4)

The Seafood Line replicates a complete packaging process for ready-to-eat seafood products, offering visitors the opportunity to observe the entire production flow live: from primary package preparation through to the creation of secondary packaging ready for distribution.

This project was made possible through the collaboration of leading packaging and food processing companies, demonstrating how automation, quality control, sustainability, and production efficiency can integrate into a single, seamlessly connected process tailored to the needs of the modern food industry.

DAIRY LINE (Hall 4)

How is a whole wheel of cheese transformed into a vacuum-sealed pack ready for the next stages of the supply chain? At Cibus Tec 2026, you will be able to see the answer live in action, thanks to a 23-meter demo line that reproduces all key phases of the process in a single continuous flow.

From processing the whole wheel to producing fixed-weight wedges, and from robotic handling to vacuum packaging in flexible film. Quality control, dynamic weighing, and the automatic management of non-compliant packages follow: every stage is connected to the next, contributing to the final finished product. Visitors will be able to follow the entire product journey in real time, observing how different technologies interact with one another to ensure continuity, precision, and control along the entire line.

The demo is the result of a collaboration between Gelmini, Veripack, FT System, Coop Bilanciai, and Pentavac—five specialized technology companies working together to create an integrated solution dedicated to the vacuum packaging of cheese wedges.

The goal is to provide a concrete demonstration of how automation, robotics, packaging, and inspection systems can be integrated into a single process—reducing manual operations while ensuring quality, precision, production continuity, and high hygienic standards.
